PERSONAL PROJECTS

Making Learning Visible

Our Guiding Question:
How can we make learning live outside the classroom?

Personal Inquiry Projects allow for students to make their learning live outside the classroom by documenting their individual learning path, skills and interests while investigating a topic of personal interest. Ultimately each student will produce a publicly shared digital platform for the purpose of making student learning visible to themselves, and for networking with potential employers, clients, post-secondary institutions or potential contacts in their fields of interest. Each Personal Inquiry Project is guided by individual needs, interests and purposes and can take many forms including a blog, Twitter feed, Instagram feed, Tumblr feed, Facebook feed or website.

Each student developing their Personal Inquiry Project is guided by an essential question that guides their learning and tackles authentic issues in the community. Some questions that our current students are working on are “What is beauty?”, “What are the intersections between climate change and natural disasters?” and “What makes a good charity?”
